Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Head Of A Young Man Wearing Armour by Peter Paul Rubens. The price achieved of GBP 3,135,000.00 (€ 3,442,021.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500,000.00 – 3,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Paul Rubens achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lot and his Daughters in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 44,882,500.00 (€ 53,330,119.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Head Of A Young Man Wearing Armour von Peter Paul Rubens zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.135.000,00 (€ 3.442.021,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.500.000,00 – 3.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Paul Rubens erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lot and his Daughters im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.882.500,00 (€ 53.330.119,54).
